# Basic Server Mod Lists<\/p>\n
I wanted something for my private Fabric server that allowed for mod compatibility checking, similar to Forge’s mod list handshake on server join. It would also notify players in a decently friendly matter, instead of Client crashes or registry remapping errors that are often caused by differing Client\/Server mod versions. This is a simple Fabric mod that aims to achieve this, by allowing for Fabric servers to require certain mods for Clients to have before joining.<\/p>\n
## Requirements<\/p>\n
This mod requires Fabric API and is required on both Client and Servers<\/p>\n
## Getting Started<\/p>\n
For players, simply drag and drop the latest supported version in your `mods` folder. No further setup is required as it’s configured on a per-server basis<\/p>\n
For servers, drag and drop the latest supported version in its `mods` folder and start it up to generate a configuration file. Configure the required mods as desired and finally connect with a Client that has this mod and the configured required mods installed<\/p>\n
Velocity proxy server setups are also supported and require for the latest version to be installed in its `plugins` folder. It is also required for the server-side mod to be installed in all desired sub-servers<\/p>\n
## Server Configuration<\/p>\n
Required client mods on a server have to be listed in its generated ‘required-mods.txt’ file, otherwise it will default to require every installed server mod<\/p>\n
The current ‘required-mods.txt’ format requires mods to be listed in the format of their mod id and version separated by an underscore on separate lines. An asterisk can be used for prefix\/suffix wildcards, otherwise explicit matching is used<\/p>\n
Example config:
\n“`
\ncobblemon_1.3.1+1.19.2
\ntwilightforest_*
\ncreate_*
\n“`<\/p>\n
